Coral Princess Panama Canal Recently???

Has anyone recently taken a Panama Canal cruise on the Coral Princess?

We are having trouble getting answers to some questions. (we leave end
of Feb. 2006)

Are there any extra charges we should be aware of such as for:
- Soft drinks?
- Specialty food items in the restaurants (eg. more for lobster etc.)
over and above the cover charge?

Can I buy a bottle of alcohol in port and drink it in my room?

We are getting married on the cruise and no one seems to be able to
tell us what time zone we will be in so we can alert friends to what
time we will be on the web cam.

Any help or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brett and Tina

yes you will have a charge for soft drinks, specialty coffees, and
bottled water. coffee, tea and juice are available in the lido
restaurant for free.
- Specialty food items in the restaurants (eg. more for lobster etc.)
over and above the cover charge?

the cover covers it.

Can I buy a bottle of alcohol in port and drink it in my room?

You can, but, as you English teacher probably told you, you may not. In
general bottles brought back from ashore are held until the last night.

We are getting married on the cruise and no one seems to be able to
tell us what time zone we will be in so we can alert friends to what
time we will be on the web cam.
Do you know which day and general time the wedding will be? Say 4:00pm
on day three?

Any help or tips would be appreciated.
relax and have fun.

Thanks,

Brett and Tina

at sea out of FLL you should still be on EST. If you change (and IIRC you
will) it will be the night of the 23rd prior to the stop in Cozumel.

My family sailed on the Coral Princess last summer in Alaska.

Soft drinks are extra, but almost immediately as you board you will have
many "opportunities" to purchase a cup that allows unlimited soft drinks for
the time on board. We don't drink them, so we passed.

If you have an interest in wine, and have the time, sign up for their wine
tastings. They had a lower end one that was a lot of fun, as well as a more
elegant high end tasting. At that tasting they opened Opus One, a red that
sells for $170 here in Ohio. Great fun and the head waiters appeared quite
knowledgeable about wine.

We loved this ship. The service was exceptional and friendly. Although
very large, we never felt crowded or herded like cattle.

Enjoy the cruise and congratulations!!!!

Thanks.

How much is that refillable cup?

It has been very hard to get answers from our agent, Princess or the
wedding coordinator.

Last time we were on Princess it was around $22

$3.50 per day for the length of the cruise as of last month on Sea Princess.
